In the stillness
A whisper speaks
Smoke on the breeze
Speaks to a restless world
Love spoken, hovers over the world

A star
Shines brightly
In the winter sky
A baby’s cry
Love
Spoken
In a
Broken
World

Daggers drawn
Hearts torn
Bleeding
Love
Carried by a baby’s cry
Unfurls
To heal the world

Even broken
Whipped
Stripped
Bleeding
Love is spoken
Unfurled
In that broken
World

Tell me
Why
The cry
Of love
Goes unheeded?

 
Is fear
So ingrained in this broken world
The words
Whispered in creation
Spoken in salvation
Shouted when death’s chains
Were broken
Go unheard?

Still your heart
Let the word
Soothe your soul
Make you whole
For the whisper
The word
Is
Love
